It is strongly recommended to consult OFSAA Support / Field Engineers / Consulting Staff before making any changes to the PDM for the following reasons:
· Tables in the PDM common Staging Area are designed to meet the complex needs of data sourcing for many different financial services analytical use cases and as such have a large number of columns, and the need for the modification should be reviewed with OFSAA consultants.
The Results Area star schemas have been designed with a set of common fact tables and dimension tables to support integration of results from multiple analytical applications and any customization should be reviewed in order to ensure that the unified reporting capabilities of the model are preserved.
After a review with OFSAA field consultants, an extension to the model should first be logged as a request for product enhancement via the standard support process. This allows:
1. Product support and product management teams to identify if a similar enhancement request was submitted on behalf of another customer so that a uniform Model Enhancement design recommendation can be provided to all customers.
2. OIDF product management to evaluate if the enhancement request is applicable more broadly to other customers and if the change should in fact is to be taken as a design requirement for subsequent releases.
